SEAMEN'S UNION.

— RE-REGISTRATION QUESTION. (BT CABLE—PHEBS ASSOCIATION—COrYBIOBT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE • WSOCUTIOM,) MELBOURNE, April '24. A representative of the Commonwealth Steamship Owners' Association called at the Commonwealth Arbitral tion Court offioee and lodged objections to the registration of the new Seamen's Union of Australia, application for which was lodged by Mr Tom Walsh, as Genera} President, and Mr Raeburn as General Secretary, several weeks ago. The Association's contention is that the application for registration of the new union is equivalent to an applica/tion for re-registration of the old union, which wos deregistered last year. The real reason for the union application, it is stated, is to strengthen the legal position of one or two rival factions among the offioers of the union, registration of which was cancelled, in order that some of the officers, who are not joining in this application, may be excluded from any lawful participation in tho affairs of the union or branch of the union.
